Isaiah 1:31 - Exposition

The strong (literally, the strong one ) shall be as tow; i.e. weak and powerless (comp. 16:9 ), utterly unable to resist the Divine fiat when it goes forth. The maker of it. An extraordinary mistranslation, since po ' al never means anything but "work." His own acts would light the fire by which the "strong one" would be consumed and perish.

" Nec lex justior ulla est,

Quam necis artifices arts perire sua ."
